There are plenty of footballers the average fan would love to befriend.

Being mates with Juan Mata (lovely, lovely man), Peter Crouch (great night out guaranteed) or Lionel Messi (just to be in his God-like presence) would no doubt be fantastic.

But if we had to choose one top players to be pals with, there is only one option: Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller. The reason is pretty straightforward: the Germany striker/lunatic is the most brilliantly bonkers man in football.

To see why, just take a look at the clip above - and bear in mind this compilation of Muller madness comes directly from Bayern.

Clearly, even his own club are aware that their star man is a few pretzels short of a picnic. That's why they have put together footage from this season of Muller being… well… a bit daft.

It's a wonderful montage of his most weird and wonderful behaviour this season, including using a flagpole to play some on-pitch imaginary golf, some awful singing and plenty of frankly terrifying dancing.

And all of it makes us love the man. So much so, our dream night out now involves going clubbing with the legendary loon.
